Still Got A Heart

Know what it's like to be in your late 80s It ain't all sunshine and roses Can kinda feel like yesterday's generation Then answer a question someone poses No one knew the answer but this old guy Makes me really feel kinda smart Still got some stuff to offer these young'uns Old, but I ain't a dead old fart Remember thinking when I was young Old guys aren't with it anymore All they can think of is napping all day With incessant very loud snores Well now that I'm finally one of those guys I can tell you here and now We've still got the hearts from living so long So listen up, we'll show you how

Such a validating poem for us 'elder' folks. I had similar thoughts when I was young about 'old' people (old at that time was anyone over 60). Now, I'm eating humble pie for having had those thoughts. We've got lots to offer, that is sooo true. Thanks for your wisdom and positivity today. Hugs & blessings, Sara

Yes... our years have taught us a lot about life! A plethora of events that make up a life! We seldom think of the end while we are experiencing the journey! Happy Jack
